Lucy and Tom's 1.2.3.

What can one say about Shirley Hughes - except that she is magic! Every book becomes a favourite almost before you open the cover - with pages to savour, new things to discover at each reading and others to treasure as old friends. The contrived 1.2.3. formula is never felt but instead we have, persuasively portrayed, Lucy and Tom's fascination with the world of mathematics that surrounds them and this entices even the most blase to share in the excitement.
